For being just a day after Labor Day, the stuff hitting the shelves this week is f*cking weak-sauce. No theatrical good times either, and the stuff hitting DVD that’s even worth mentioning are a couple of TV shows that I’ve never even seen. SUPERNATURAL and THE GHOST WHISPERER both bust out with their third seasons, and one low-budget STD is looking to rock us hard with THE MORGUE. Ah September, how I loathe thee.
